More from Mail Online:

A baby died from catastrophic head injuries when his mother lost her grip and he fell on to an airport baggage carousel, witnesses revealed last night.
Her screams rang out across the arrivals hall at Alicante airport bringing police rushing to the scene.
The 32-year-old American tourist had just arrived in Spain from Gatwick with her Canadian husband and their two children. The baby was just five months old.

One theory under investigation is that she climbed on to the belt to grab a pushchair which had become stuck in the stationary chute.
When it began to move, she apparently lost her balance and dropped the baby carrier, according to Spanish newspaper Informacion.
Airport staff said the accident happened in seconds, giving the mother no time to react.
An airport worker added: ‘The youngster ended up trapped in a 10cm hole where two belts converge. The boy appeared to have suffered from a fractured skull.’
